I want a roof vent, but the one I got from fleabay is crap, the inside vents are not bad, but the actual vent is naff.
The Scoob is the first car I've owned with out a sunroof, well, apart from the Jag

Frayz,

For a couple of days in Germany, it did look like a rally slag

But you've already made it a very indiviidual looking car and this will only enhance that look

But i guess its mods like this that make you different to everyone else.. cos not many people will bite the bullet and do it.

I know 99% of people wouldnt dream of ripping out a newage dash let alone cut a hole in their roof lol

Not many would be up for this



to do this
